Till September 2019, it was possible to get the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) binary packages and use them free of charge.

After the merger with Cloudera, you need either a subscription or just get access to the plain source code which you need to fiddle out how to get your local HDP cluster to update.

Who of the HN readers used the Hortonworks platform or another Hadoop "distribution" without subscription and what are you using in 2020?

Are there solutions or distributions I haven't seen?
